[sci.electronics] HP48sx question

pcjg7045@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (Pramod C. John) (06/09/91)

Hi,
	I am looking for the pin outs and the number of the connector used 
for I/O on the 48sx.  If anyone has any info, I would appreciated it.  

Thanks alot.

Pinout of I/O connector:  

  ---------  
  |* * * *|
  \_______/
   
   ^ ^ ^ ^
   | | | +-- Shield
   | | +---- TX (output)
   | +------ RX (input)
   +-------- GND

Sorry, cannot help with connector part number.  Try making your own with
0.025 square sockets (Berg division of DuPont makes a wide range of 'em).  I
have been told that some people have made sockets from joystick connectors.

Enjoy.

BTW, anyone out there in .netland interested in buying an HP42S, including
the programming manual?  Contact me via e-mail.

	Greetings. Only if you use a few square meters of sand paper :-) 
	(The typical 9-pin (DB-9) is a _bit_ big).

	What I did was take some gold (when you are debugging an 
	intermittent problem, it's nice to know the connector is not it :-)
	connectors, put them on the HP48sx pins, put tape around them as
	to seal their spacing (put one sticky side from below and one from
	above - with the pins in the middle). Then I used some epoxy to
	"cast" a little connector from. After a little sandpaper-ing, I had
	a connector I'm proud of ;-)

	Take care.

	P.S. Nope, but I'm still determined to get my ROMs swapped!
	Even if it's almost over (swap period). Darn, 2 days left.
	(I have rev A and I want rev E)

I would suggest also that you subscribe to comp.sys.handhelds if you have a
48-SX.
